From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. Former foreign editor of Time, Ramo pushes the reader into uncomfortable yet exhilarating places with controversial ways of thinking about global challenges (e.g., studying why Hezbollah is the most efficiently run Islamic militant group). His book, which lays bare the flaws in current thinking on everything from American political influence to the economy, is designed to change the physics of the way we think. Analyzing the failure of the Bush administration's Democratic Peace Theory and the fruitless efforts at a Mideast peace process, Ramo suggests that people must change the role they imagine for themselves from architects of a system they can control to gardeners in a living ecosystem. Ramo's message—that the most dynamic forces emerge from outside elite circles: geeks, iconoclasts and maligned populations—is persuasively argued. And while the author doesn't explicitly offer up solutions, he goads readers to approach problems in unexpected ways. His revelatory work argues that there must be some audacity in thinking before there can be any audacity of hope. (Apr.)

几十年前，一个叫巴布斯特的人把1789年到1941年的一些战争数据输入计算机中进行概率统计，得出一个结论：从1789年到1941年间，有着民主选举的政府的独立国家之间没有发生过战争，根据统计出的事实，他认为：只要有了民主，便有了和平。 布什政府显然是这一“民主和平论...

评分像物理学从牛顿定理到量子力学的发展一样，对于社会的认识也正在经历这样的转变，由真实的到虚幻的，这样看来的话本就没有“常识”一说了，至少所谓的常识是有很大的时间和空间的局限性的。万变没有其宗，没有什么可以走遍天下都不怕的的依靠。 #沙堆模型# 只要稍微关...
评分《不那么---不可思议》 本文基础知识点。 “沙堆效应”，是美国学者提出的。 人们注意到小孩在海边玩堆沙子时，沙子可以一直往上堆起来，形成一定规模的小沙堆，直到最后一粒沙子后，看似突然，然而必然地会引起整个沙堆的“崩溃”.最后一粒沙子有点类似于中国传统文化所说的...
